ABSTRACT:
A board game for simulating a white-water rafting course wherein two or more players attempt to be the first to reach the finish line. A game board is utilized that depicts a white water stream divided into a plurality of spaces with game pieces in the form of rafts being moved along the spaces according to the roll of a single die. Various spaces on the course have instructions for further action by the player and include picking a card from a deck of pick cards with additional instructions. A three-dimensional HO scale railroad segment and flat car serve as the launch mechanism for each game piece. Each player selects a flag representing the nation of his choice for the race and installs this flag on his raft game piece prior to launch thereof. Hazards on the white-water cource include a three-dimensional drawbridge that must be manually opened by each player and a three-dimensional portage route that may be traversed, depending upon the roll of the die.
